Steve Friedl is a Southern-California based independent consultant specializing in security and system software development. With a degree in math/computer science, he's been a C/UNIX developer since 1981 and first started using Windows in 1987. He likes writing communications controllers best, as it allows him to eschew GUI development and become one with the Win32 API. Various customer projects have gotten him particularly intimate with the windows printing and debugging systems.

An amateur ornithologist, he most enjoys coding on the back porch while hand-taming the wild birds
